La Corda d'Oro #3

Two elegantly dressed young musicians take center stage on Yuki Kure's cover — one cradling a violin with practiced ease, the other holding sheet music against a backdrop of flowing musical notation. Published by Viz under the Shojo Beat imprint in 2007, this third volume of La Corda d'Oro continues the musical drama with "Measure 9," drawn and written by Kure with her signature blend of refined linework and romantic atmosphere. If you've been following this series, the chemistry between these two figures makes it easy to see why it resonates so warmly with fans of music-themed shojo manga.
